On Thursday, Mayor Greg Fischer unveiled plans for the event, calling it a signature event for celebrating the city.

“We do everything we can to embrace our city as a global city, and an international city, and (we hold) Worldfest to put our global citizens, our global markets, our business and international business right there on stage for four days during the year,” said Fischer.

This year's Worldfest will feature 90 bands and performers on three stages and more than 30 food vendors, along with nearly 150 booths.

"Every year my family comes to this festival. Really shows you how diverse Louisville has become," said festival goer Florde Maria Donis.

Worldfest will take place over Labor Day weekend, Friday, Aug. 29 through Monday, Sept. 1.
